HOW DO WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Protecting your personal information is important to us. We have implemented organizational and technical security measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We limit access to your personal information to staff members and third parties who need such access in order to carry out their responsibilities on behalf of the JRM. Those processing your information may do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. When you enter sensitive information (such as your password), we encrypt that information in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology. Still, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, or alteration. There is always a risk inherent in the electronic transmission and storage of information (including without limitation the risks of unauthorized entry or use, telecommunication issues, hardware or software failure, and other factors).
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We retain personal information for as long as we reasonably require it for legal or legitimate JRM purposes. For research purposes, we retain certain application information indefinitely and may selectively de-identify portions of the personal information in an application on a selective basis. When we no longer have a legitimate interest in keeping your personal information, we securely delete or destroy it. In determining data retention periods, JRM takes into consideration applicable laws, contractual obligations, and what we reasonably believe are your expectations.
